There will be henchman, and I'm guessing they are going back to 5 bosses(they line up the twitter reveals as 1 a day leading up to release. That said, only 5 players fit. Banks(who was already in a program), Morgan, Yount, Gehrig, and Walter Johnson if the are trying to trick us. I really just don't see Lou when I look at this picture though even if it makes the most sense. I'll go Yount here
I'm usually pretty optimistic.....but please don't let it be Yount haha. I wish his cards played better.
Yeah those guys that are in the Jackie/Clemente range of attributes just don't play well usually and Yount doesn't bring the speed or Defense that the others do to make up for it. Like Lou seems extremely obvious and the silhouette color matches Cano's exactly but I have a feeling he might have a dumbed down card like Griffey or Mays
It for sure looks like Gehrig.
However, a 1982 Retro Finest Robin Yount would be a really nice card! It would have slightly better hitting stats than the Cal Ripkin card, and still have Diamond D. It would have speed in the low 80's since his Signature series card last year had 76 speed.

First Boss looks like it's Lou Gehrig. 2x MVP, HoF lefty at Yankee stadium. Any guess how many bosses this program will have? Any henchmen?
Eleventy-Seven.
🤭
Isn't that a pop punk band from the early 2000s?
I don't think.

With the program starting Thursday; there wouldn't be enough days to do that. Unless they tease one Thurs and show it during the stream.

I'm going to throw this out there. My guess is Joe Morgan. 2x MVP 75 & 76 played the Yankees in the WS in 76 and there is Red in the outline. I'm probably wrong but the bat being let go by the right hand looks like the knob Morgan had on his bat.
I would be okay with Morgan, it's just that the silhouette color has been correct on every single one of these that they have done. Unless he hit a significant milestone in his 1 year in Philly, it's not going to be him
Ok I can go with that. It just seems to me that Lou Gehrig would be too obvious and the FACT that YOU guess every one of these, maybe they are trying to switch it up LMAO
I just don't see Lou when I look at that picture lol. Yount and Walter fit just as well with the Silhouette Color and that Body shape just looks more like Yount than Lou. Although I can't be sure how much they are following the "old school" theme because Yount is less old school than the others

Dang that's good and clearly indicates its Gehrig. Well done whoever found that.

Ah, I thought it was Friday. My bad. Either way I don't think they 2 3 boss programs in a row

Well done Eric. Personally I didn't want it to be Gehrig. Like Jeezy thinks Austin Riley sucks, I can't hit with Gehrig

Ita all good. Up until last night I also thought it was Friday.

If it’s Gehrig I’ll be hype. If it’s Yount I’ll throw the game in the trash. Lol ok maybe not to that extreme but please don’t let it be Yount.

A 1982 Retro Finest Yount would be better than the Cal Ripkin finest in this program. Mid-90's power with low 80's speed and diamond defense, and a better swing.

The POV is weird but pretty sure its like standing in front of home plate looking at the batter....follow through on a no doubt animation to center-ish probably.
I'm willing to bet Lou based on background and color. Just hope they don't disrespect him like they did Mays/Griffey. Finest or Triple crown card please.
It will probably be either an Awards, Signature, or Triple Crown. Lou is good enough without the Retro finest and Griffey/Mantle/Mays releases would just be more strange if a Finest Lou was released imo. I get what they were going for with Griffey, Mays, Mantle and all 3 will likely have Finest cards down the line but Lou is very much in the same ballpark as those guys imo
could also be a 4 hr game milestone, believe he was the 1st to do it, though theyve only used it once they did just recently highlight it with the Delgado moment.

Oh. My. GOD.
What?? I said nothing about Ross or Rachel.
Yount is the greatest shortstop this game has ever seen. A sleight against Yount is equivalent to 1,000,000 posts speculating about Ross and Rachel.
@Ericulous1_PSN , I'm sure @SchnauzerFace_MLBTS will forgive you as you were not a regular on these forums in 2020. Just know that Yount is the best card in this game, period, the end. Commandment #1 is "thou shall not disparage Yount, his mustache, his mullet..."

I realize my words regarding Sir Robin were misguided. I know now that he is no mere mortal but rather a God among men. Please forgive this mindless slip up.

So confirmed on Twitter, it’s a Prime Lou Gehrig aka a watered down version
Maybe I’m wrong on it being watered down but what’re the odds they give us the 99 he deserves given how they’ve done Griffey, Mays, Mantle

Lou will be great

I’m sure it’ll be a good card, but probably not his best 99

Doesn’t really matter they will all get a 99 finest card that is juiced.

If he is getting a 99 Prime with an eventual better one, do you think Ortiz will get another card as well?

Everyone is getting a juiced 99 most likely, SDS is feeling like Oprah “you get a retro finest 99, and you get a retro finest 99”.

Its really tough to say because Griffey and Mantle got 2nd Half cards, which we knew already wasn't the best they could get, and Mays was a Takashi, which they can put any attributes they want on (Prime etc. all have formulas they use) While Prime/Sig/Milestone/Awards aren't as good as Retro Finest, there is a better chance this is Gehrigs top card than Mays. Papi's prime card is basically just as good as all his other ones were

Question, why would prime be watered down? Isn't it the best 3 year stretch of a career?
1934 - 1936 would be a great card.
HR's = 49, 30 and 49
AVG = .363, .329, .354
RBIs = 166, 120, 152
Walks = 109, 132, 130
SO = 31, 38, 46
OPS = 1.172, 1.049 and 1.174And don't see how it could be anything but his end game card.
